Issue 3 of The Dark Sire
Welcome to the third
issue of TDS. There’s so
much to share with you.
First, the author event on
Feb. 20 went great, with
John Kiste, David
Crerand, and S.M. Cook
discussing their work and
reading excerpts from
Issue 2. Second, TDS is
transcending the page.
For poets, I’ve partnered
with Fernando Fidanza, a
talented musician from
Rome, Italy, who has
begun composing Folk
music for TDS poetry.
For writers, I’m develop -
ing a podcast of short
story excerpts for your
listening pleasure. Third,
TDS now has an official
sponsor: Secondhand
Bookery. I’m thankful
and proud to have a
horror and science fiction
online bookstore repre-
senting TDS. Fourth, the
readership is almost 2000
– that’s all word-of-
mouth in 6 months!
Fifth, TDS Subscription

pieces for prizes, and
more. You can subscribe

New things keep hap-
pening for TDS, and it’s
all thanks to you. Thank

couldn’t do it without
you!
